Now that the Mac App Store has been snuck installed onto your machine alongside Mac OS X 10.6.6, you might be wondering - is there some way to remove that monstrosity of an application from my Mac? While it's not officially supported, it does seem like Apple has taken this scenario into account.

It is not jargon or slang, as it is the official name used by Apple, and so mainstream that Microsoft appearently wants to use the name "AppStore" as well. And yes, of course it is an abbreviation. But that doesn't mean that it is semantically equal to the full word.
